Introduction 

Professional DAB/DAB+ & FM tuner

The DSP40 is a professional DAB/DAB+ & FM tuner which provides access to a wide variation of radio 
stations while guaranteeing a high-quality audio reproduction. Station selection can be done manually 
or automatically, while up to 10 preferred channels can be internally stored and recalled.

The front panel of the system accommodates a 2.8” TFT display in combination with a push rotary 
function dial and 4 tactile push buttons. The controls and indicators on the front panel of the unit are 
guaranteeing an intuitive and user friendly operation, allowing hassle free operation and configuration to 
even unexperienced users. Information such as radio station information carried by RDS / Radio text and 
signal reception strength are indicated.

The signal output level is user configurable while dynamic range compression (DRC) is supported, improving 
the intelligibility for low volumes in applications with high levels of background noise.

Other functions such as mono/stereo (FM) switching always guarantee the best possible audio reception.

The antenna input is implemented by an F-type connector allowing connection of the included antenna 
cable or any other external antenna using 75

Ω

 coaxial cabling. The balanced stereo line output is connected 

through two 3-pin terminal block connections.

The RS-232 communication port allows system integration with any home or industrial automation system, 
while an optional 2.4 GHz remote control allows handheld control while hidden out of sight.
